CITS 5551 - Software Engineering Design 1
Term: Semester 1 - 2026
Unit Coordinator: Atif Mansoor
This unit is taken over two semesters and parts 1 and 2 must be completed to fulfil the requirements of the unit (CITS5551 + CITS 5552). The project is a capstone experience in which students integrate and apply knowledge and skills acquired in earlier units to a substantial real-world design challenge relevant to their discipline. Students work in teams, typically with four to six members, and are supervised by an academic and/or industry mentor. Teams are responsible for managing their project as well as reporting against milestones and preparing the necessary design documentation. The academic objectives of the project are to lead students through a systematic engineering design and synthesis process and to better prepare them for professional practice as engineers. The focus of the unit is on teamwork skills and the design process.
Additional Instructions
Do you have a project that needs software written for it?
We are now calling for projects from industry, community and UWA as Software Engineering Capstone Projects for Honours students in Semester 1 2026. Each group of students (4 to 6 students) will work for two semesters and deliver the results based on project requirements that they agree with you. The student teams can help you explore your project requirements, develop a prototype, and create a minimal viable product for your business needs.
Perth based project proposals will be prioritised.
